WIX Notes!

You have WIX sites already created with the following pages: Context; Planning; Recording;
Process; and Evaluation.

Your task is to add content to each page. You do not need to create a new page, but you
could add a new title under the work on each page from the last project. For example, on
the Context page create a new title at the bottom called ‘Context for Audio Book and Xmas
Advert’ and add your new work underneath.

•these are topics which need audio/screen recordings/photos etc that you may need to
ensure you have before you work on this at home.

Use the following checklist to help but do not write these out in a question and answer style:

Context

What new skills would creating both an audio book and xmas advert allow you to learn?

Was it a team task or individual task? What problems might you encounter working as a
team?

Why is it useful for you to work on tasks such as the xmas advert?

Research

(if you do not have a Research page add this information to either the Context or Planning
page)

What audio books did you listen to as research? (add links)

What recording techniques did you research before you started this project? (Microphones,
checking levels, audio editing etc).

Planning

What was your week-by-week plan for the audio book?

Give an example of a typical daily recording session plan.

Recordings

Process

With screen shots and/or screen recordings highlight in detail at least 4 new techniques you
used with Logic. Explain why they were used, and present before and after audio clips. This
might be•:

- Adding creative effects (reverb, distortion, chorus etc)

- Using corrective effects (compression, noise gate, EQ)

- Audio manipulation (reversing, slowing down, fading in/out)

- Using Envelope (ADSR) and other parameters to ‘shape’ software instruments

- Automation

Explain how you used microphones with diagram/photo evidence (microphone position,
phantom power, Logic process)

Problem Solving

If you do not have a Problem Solving page then add the following to your Process page:

- Explain at least 2 technical problems you had and how were they solved?
- How did you ensure the team were all occupied?
- Could time-management have been better?

Evaluation (to be completed upon your return 8/1/19)

Create a group recording discussing how you would do certain aspects of the project again.
